Woodford Master Cask Rye

I just noticed that the Woodford Reserve Master Cask Rye has recently been released. The State of MI price list posted the price (in early August) at $44.97 (+6% sales tax) - for a 375 ml bottle (as the minimum retail price in MI). It strikes me as a pretty high price.

Good catch on this, I don't recall reading about it earlier on SB unless Chuck C mentioned it. It's part of the Masters Collection of WR I would think, or does "master cask" mean something else or in addition?

Chuck has some good information on a series of planned rye, and rye mash whiskey, releases from WR here:

Which is actually kind of funny in itself. Herradura is owned by Brown-Forman, which also owns Jack Daniels, whose used barrels are used to age Herradura, which is now going to be used to age/finish WR??

And yes, WR is also in the B-F stable of brands also.

Whooow.....talk about coming full circle and recycling. At least the barrels probably are not completely spent by the time the come around to WR again, but they can't have that much oomph left in them.
